WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ś Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
ś Before refueling, note the location of
the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
ś Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
ś Do not use mobile phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.
ś Do not go back into the vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other Gasoline source, with your
bare hand.
ś When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
ś Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store Gasoline.
ś When refueling, always shift the
vehicle to P(Park), apply the parking
brake, and press the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF position.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
ś Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
ś Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
Gasoline spillage.
